14 BioFresh Compartment BioFresh Compartment The BioFresh compartment maintains food freshness up to 3 times longer than in standard refrigerators. The constant temperature just above 32 F (0 C) and the adjustable humidity provides the ideal storage conditions for different types of food. Slide control to left This setting is suitable for dry or wrapped food like dairy products, meat, fish, cold cuts. Slide control to right This setting is suitable for storing unwrapped food with a high moisture content such as salad, vegetables and fruit. Notes The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the food and the frequency a drawer is opened. The fresher the product and the higher its quality, the longer the storage life. Unwrapped food should be stored separately. Wrap food if there is not enough space in the drawers. To avoid bacterial spoilage, different types of meat should not come into contact with each other. Keep meat packed separately. The following products should not be stored in the BioFresh compartment: hard cheese, potatoes, coldsensitive vegetables such as cucumber, eggplant, avocados, semi-ripe tomatoes, zucchini, and all coldsensitive tropical fruits such as pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mangoes, papaya, etc. Storage Times for food in the BioFresh compartment Dry setting butter, cheese (soft) up to 30 days milk (fresh) up to 7 days sausage, cold cuts up to 7 days fish up to 4 days shellfish up to 3 days poultry up to 5 days pork large portions up to 7 days cut up up to 5 days beef, game up to 7 days Humid setting artichokes up to 21 days asparagus, broccoli up to 14 days Brussels sprouts up to 30 days cabbage up to 180 days carrots up to 150 days cauliflower up to 21 days celery, chicory up to 30 days Chinese cabbage, curly kale up to 14 days fennel up to 21 days garlic up to 180 days green onions up to 7 days herbs up to 30 days iceberg salad, endives, lamb s lettuce up to 21 days kohlrabi up to 14 days leeks up to 60 days lettuce up to 10 days mushrooms up to 7 days peas up to 10 days radicchio up to 21 days radishes up to 14 days savoy cabbage up to 60 days spinach up to 7 days apples up to 180 days apricots, bilberries, cherries up to 14 days blackberries up to 8 days black and red currants up to 21 days dates (fresh) up to 60 days figs (fresh) up to 7 days gooseberries up to 21 days grapes up to 90 days kiwi fruits up to 120 days peaches up to 30 days pears up to 120 days plums up to 21 days quinces up to 90 days raspberries, strawberries up to 5 days rhubarb up to 21 days 14

15 Freezer Compartment Freezing Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly as possible. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavor of the food remains intact. Freezing with SuperFrost Touch the SuperFrost icon briefly so the LED turns on. Wait 24 hours. Then place the fresh food inside the freezer. The SuperFrost function turns off automatically. Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be between 30 and maximum 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete; the SuperFrost LED will turn off, and the freezer will change back to normal energy-saving operation. You should not turn on the SuperFrost function: when placing frozen food in the freezer; when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2 kg) fresh food daily. Freezing and Storage Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers. Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact with food already frozen. Always keep packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together. Always write the date and contents on the package and do not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents spoiling. Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities right for your household. To ensure the food freezes right through quickly, the following quantities should not be exceeded per package: - fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg); - meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg). Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most. Only take out as much food as needed for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways: - in a microwave oven - in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because there is less chance of bacteria growth. Use this method for high density food such as roasts or poultry. 15

16 IceMaker Safety Instructions and Warnings for the Automatic Ice Maker The ice maker is designed exclusively to make ice cubes in quantities needed by a household. All repairs and work on the ice maker may only be done by customer service personnel or other appropriately trained personnel. Do not consume or use the first three batches of ice. This applies both to using the appliance for the first time and also using it after it has not been used for a long period of time. The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage caused by equipment or water lines between the solenoid valve and the water supply. The ice maker is in the top left drawer in the freezer compartment of the combined refrigerator-freezer. The ice maker can only make ice cubes if the drawer is completely closed. The ice maker will only make ice cubes if the freezer compartment is operating. Ice Maker Description After you start the ice maker for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours before the first ice cubes are ready. The ice cubes fall out of the ice maker into the drawer. The first three batches of ice must not be consumed or used. When the ice reaches a certain level in the drawer, the appliance stops producing ice automatically. The production capacity is ice cubes in 24 hours at a temperature of 0 F (-18 C) inside the freezer compartment. To have the maximum capacity of approx. 150 ice cubes in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost function. Be aware that this increases the energy consumption because the compressor will run constantly. Turning the Ice Maker On and Off To turn the ice maker on Touch the IceMaker icon so the IceMaker LED comes on. If the IceMaker LED flashes, the ice maker is not being supplied with water. The audible alarm sounds at the same time. Check if the shut off valve of the water supply is opened. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply. Touch the IceMaker icon so the IceMaker LED goes out. To turn the ice maker off If you do not need any ice cubes, the ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer compartment. Touch the IceMaker icon so the IceMaker LED goes out. Ice maker at vacations See chapter Vacation tips Touch the IceMaker icon so the IceMaker LED comes on. The IceMaker LED will now light up permanently. 16

17 Cleaning/Vacation Defrosting Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat. Freezer compartment The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the freezer compartment. Any moisture will collect on the evaporator and freeze. It will periodically defrost and evaporate. Cleaning WARNING! To prevent possible injury due to an electrical shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or turn off the circuit breaker before cleaning the appliance. To avoid injury or damage, do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance. To avoid short-circuits, ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components when cleaning the appliance. Do not use a sponge or cloth that is overly wet. Clean the side panels and door surfaces with a clean and soft cloth. If necessary, use a moist cloth (water + detergent). Alternatively, use a micro-fibre cloth. Do not use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not use concentrated cleaning agents. Never use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments and store in a cool place temporarily. Store frozen food in other freezers if available. Remove the door racks. Remove glass shelves. Remove the BioFresh drawers. Pull the drawer straight out, grip at the back and lift out. Clean the equipment parts by hand with lukewarm water and dishwasher detergent. Clean the refrigerator and freezer drawers interior with lukewarm water and dishwasher detergent. Dry all parts well with a cloth.

Vacation Tips Short vacations It is not necessary to turn off the refrigerator and freezer if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use all perishables. Freeze other items. Long vacations If you will be away for a month or more: Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Turn off the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Clean the appliance. Refer to Cleaning. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant odors. This will also keep mold from building up. 17

18 Troubleshooting Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life and reliable operation. If a problem occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that even during the warranty period, you may be responsible for certain repair costs. Problem Appliance does not work, display is off The interior light does not come on Loud running noise Motor seems to run too long The temperature is not cold enough Freezer temperature display shows two dashes - - Ice maker cannot be turned on Ice maker is not making any ice Possible Cause and Remedy - Is the appliance turned on properly? - Is the power cord properly inserted in the outlet? - Is the circuit breaker or fuse in operating condition? - Is the refrigerator compartment turned on? - Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes? - Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the adjustable feet, or adjust bottles and containers. - Is the ambient temperature too hot? See Safety Regulations. - Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long? - A large amount of food has been added. - Unit is in SuperCool mode. Verify unit is in normal operation mode. - Is the temperature setting correct? See Setting the Temperature. - Has an excessive amount of fresh food been placed in the appliance? - Does a separately installed thermometer show the correct reading? - Is the ventilation system working properly? - Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source? The freezer temperature display will only show temperatures that are below freezing. When initially starting the freezer it will not be below freezing. It will take three to five hours (depending on ambient conditions) for freezing temperatures to be achieved and thus displayed numerically. This may also occur after a power failure. - Is the appliance connected to the electrical outlet? - Is the ice maker turned on? - Is the water supply line open? - Is the IceMaker drawer closed properly?
